North Carolina football begins its spring practices next week with coach Mack Brown hitting a reset after a disappointing 6-7 record last season.
The big question of who will be the replacement for record-setting quarterback Sam Howell won’t be answered until the precipice of the season opener when practice resumes in August. But until then, Brown is aiming to re-establish the culture that had the Tar Heels overachieving his first two seasons back in Chapel Hill.
“You got to play to your standard every week and not get so high and so low,” Brown said. “And last year’s team for us was a high-low team and that just drives a coach nuts, so that’s what we’re working to overcome.”
